The Zebulon Police Department mourns the tragic loss of Zebulon PD’s Retired Chief Timothy Hayworth’s oldest son Ofc. Ryan Hayworth, who was tragically killed this morning while on duty with the Knightdale Police Department.
We honor their tribute in service to the Zebulon community.
Our thoughts and prayers continue not only to the Hayworth family, but to the additional officer; Ofc. Cody Hagler who was also injured.
